Notes

Jeremiah 34:1–7

The Lord encouraged Zedekiah, even though he was a weak and timid leader. The message includes both judgment and a promise.

Jeremiah 34:1–39:18

This section starts with the prediction of Jerusalem's fall and Zedekiah's capture (Jeremiah 34:1–7). The prediction comes true toward the end (Jeremiah 39:1–10). These messages emphasize that the old covenant was broken beyond repair. This was especially true for the kings descended from David, who should have been most dedicated to upholding it.
